Welsh Rockpool Aquarium.

[@TheAmebcia]

Hey everyone, let's give Mark as many thumbs up as possible on all his past videos. It is ridiculous that electricity bills are stopping him from making all those awesome videos. Let's get him more views and subscribers. It is all up to us really. Just do it ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Thanks jake! Yes the more subs and likes the channel gets the more money comes in. Then that goes towards bills and aquarium stuff to make more videos for you guys.

[@Paul-li9hq]

I am so looking forward to your next beach foraging session... I am absolutely thrilled to see you back - I can't wait for all the future developments 👌

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Thank you very much!

[@PullingYourStrings]

Hey man, I miss your video’s. I was there when you started and have come back multiple times. Today I wanted to see you breed the pygmy corys again since mine are at breeding size now. Thanks for the tons of information!

One cookie for the algorithm. Would love to see new content, this is a wonderful channel.

[@NickBenton-w9s]

Hi Mark, great videos and i am sooo pleased to see you back. Your tutorials are the very best for reasoned information and also workable instructional content. Thanks mate.

[@Korg-0121]

Hello stranger, nice to see you back again. Missed your content, look forward to seeing what youve got coming. That reef tank looks stunning btw

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Hi Keith. Thanks for sticking with the channel all the best.

[@coviegirl]

Bert the Greedy Goby Diva of Castle Bert is obviously well fed and well cared for 😊. I'd like to see a selection of the different winkles & periwinkles you get in the UK. Prawn species, maybe? Anyway, I'd like to ask everyone who watches Mark to like, share & subscribe to him. Let's get him up and running again! Stay safe in the wonderful Welsh winter 👏👏

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Thank you for your kind message. This aquarium will be stunning when I'm finished just keep watching! 😉👍

Lovely to see you post videos again. Keep up the amazing work. You have been soarely missed from youtube

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

It's great to be behind the camera again.

[@steffanjansenvanvuuren3257]

I really appreciate your spawning videos. My dwarf Gouramies, African mouth brooders, Angels and Neon Tetras spawned in my aquarium all by themselves. I did not raise the fry. That was in the 80's. But the last time I had an aquarium was in 2004.

[@cathyhendrix7552]

Well hello. It's been a bit since your last video and it's been great to see you again. Or KZbin hasn't been giving me my notifications. Which they do that to me ALL the time. Anyways, the goby is awesome. Such a cutie. I love gobies. I had a couple of them but they started eating my guppy fry so I had to take them back. The guppy fry was my money source to pay for my 3 tanks, and my other tanks had fry in them to. Bummer because there are some really cool gobies out there. So thanks for sharing. Hope you have a blessed holiday season.

Hi mark. I’ve watched all your native marine videos now. I’m just about to set up a 180 litre rock pool tank myself. Never done it before. So I’m sure it’ll be a learning curve.

Follow my videos and you'll be fine. Just enjoy and take it slowly.

Awesome again Mark. I was just going to say you should get Bert a female Goby and see if they breed and then you said it haha Stole my thunder lol Love Gobys! I am pretty sure they know their owners and when they are going to be fed. Can't wait to see Berts girlfriend. Hope some will survive this year if they have babies. Great that you are back posting awesome vids again. Stay safe at the beach in this weather.

Glad your back Mark, how about a tank tour? let us see the koi...

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

It's winter here now and the koi are all tucked up for the winter so not active. If it warms up a bit and liven up a bit I'll take so film of them.

[@Nanomanuk358]

Very good thanks

[@pigeonlizard]

Again, great to see you back. Even if you have to cut back on the number of projects you have going at once, remember the algorithm loves consistency of uploads very much, so any video of you poking around on the shore or filming under water just to have something to upload will be good for your channel

[@pigeonlizard]

Maybe you could go catching things, and bring a tank out with you, and film them for just a bit and then release?

[@flatbit3090]

Thinking of setting up a native UK tank and well impressed with your channel. just subscribed so looking forward to more of your videos. I appreciate your time and experience you share on this channel well done.

[@englishfishkeeper2007]

Would love to see you do this. I've attempted a native tank many times but each time the tanks were too small and now I've got a 63 gallon reef tank which I'm thinking off tearing down and starting it up again as a coldwater marine tank. Still thinking

[@lauravergeer3992]

[@richiemonkey120]

Hi Mark, love this aquarium. I have searched far and wide for other personal tide pool aquarium examples and mostly find those seen in public aquariums. So I decided to make one myself of a few critters from a New England beach. Matching salinity and including some cycled ceramic media. So far so good. Pods are multiplying and water is clear, tiny striped killifish similar to minnows make up most of the livestock. The macro algae seems to be struggling. Do you fertilize the algae?Any long term advice? I am hoping to get the fish to a good size then release.

[@debrapage582]

Hi Mark great to see you back. I have a question. I have a paludarium with fish shrimp and vampire crabs. I have seen videos with land snails and am thinking of trying but need to know if the snails or their slime are a danger to the others. Thank you.

Hey Mark - My colleague did say you were after Banggai, I have some due in tomorrow, will be ready by Saturday. Pistol shrimp hopefully due in next Tuesday evening 😁
